We always say that today is a sad day when someone passes away and it always is. But today, we mourn the loss of half of the duo who wrote the bulk of Motown’s greatest hits for various artists. Nick Ashford of the singing and writing duo Ashford & Simpson has passed away after a fight with throat cancer and radiation treatments at 70 years old.
Ashford & Simpson’s history wrote itself through their music and thankfully, music never dies. We, the fans, are lucky. His family and friends have suffered the true loss. RIP Mr. Ashford. How honored I am to say your music has been a part of my life, I loved seeing you in concert. And no, I still cannot get my hair to be half as fly as yours. May you rest in peace.
